Sub-1GHz gives you kilometers of range with very low power consumption. The RF bands are license-free and the robust co-existence technology solves the increasing problem of interference from other wireless systems. Sub-1GHz is suited for applications running on small batteries: Metering and smart grid, alarm and security and home automation.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a radio technology enabling bi-directional short range wireless communication between devices to make life easier and more convenient for worldwide consumers by simplifying transactions, digital content exchange, and electronic device connection with a touch.
